The statewide elections in Oregon are quickly approaching, and the voter registration deadline is in two days on Tuesday, April 28.

“Voting is how Oregonians hold politicians accountable, weigh-in on important issues, and decide the direction of our state,” Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read said in a recent press release. “Oregon’s vote-by-mail elections are safe, accurate, and fair, and it only takes minutes to register and be a part of the democratic process.”

Oregon state elections are on May 19th, and voters will have the opportunity to cast their ballot for primary candidates in various offices before the general election in November 2026.

You can update or register to vote here.

Prospective voters will need proof of citizenship and eligibility, such as their Social Security number or Oregon state driver’s license.
